Abroad remittances in Africa
The man (@ebonyioma) said that contrary to what many think, Africans back home only needed extra cash, and not struggling.
In his words:
"Why are you paying someone's rent in Africa and you are squatting in Africa? You are placing someone on salary while you are struggling with two jobs."
He stated that if things go wrong, the same person one has been trying to help will be the first to mock one's misfortune.
